| 词条 | Outpost (1944 film) |
| 释义 |
PlotA narrator informs viewers that the United States maintain far-flung military outposts, manned by diligent sentinels. The film then introduces an outpost on a tiny Pacific island, where under its single palm tree lies the local sentinel, Private Snafu. His only companion is a local bird. Snafu loudly complains about his 249 days on the island, and a message coming over the radio informs him that his 249th request for a transfer has been denied.[1] Snafu and this bird get to sleep and dream about girls. Their dreams get mixed up and irate Snafu wakes up, threatening to break the bird for insubordination. The dejected bird locates a floating can of food, marked "Pickled Fish with Rice". On the bottom is written "Hon. K Ration Imperial Japanese Navy." Snafu is not interested in the bird's finding, and orders the bird to bury it. The United States military is tracking a Japanese task force by means of reference points until the observation posts lose track of it, so the officers call all observation posts to give a full report. Private Snafu does so by reciting his day's records from his log book; when his superiors hear of the tin-can entry in Snafu's report, they radio him again almost immediately, ordering Snafu to repeat the tin-can entry and confirm its description. The bird digs it up and Snafu reports its food label and Japanese information.[1] The report of Snafu concerning the can leads to American bombers annihilating the Japanese fleet. The day ends with Snafu and his bird sitting on their tiny beach; with Snafu's unawareness of his own role in the Japanese fleet annihilation, he laments to his bird companion about his lack of involvement in the war. "Pickled fish eyes with rice; I don't get it. Wouldn't you think they could find something important for me to do in this here army?" as he throws the can into the ocean as the day ends. [1] AnalysisThis is considered a transitional film in the series, with Snafu successfully able to complete a mission despite his discomfort and being unaware of the importance of the task. [2]Sources
